DEMANDS OF THE NATIONAL
FARMERS ALLIANCE UPON
CONGRESS.

Below we print in full the demands
made by the National Farmers ALI
ance in convention at Shreveport.
They are sound to the core and show
in ringing language the more impor-
tant purposes of this great body, and
the ends they propose to achieve.
This body was composed of farmers
representing all the Southern States,
and the resolutions appended were
passed unanimously,
Resolved That we the National
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, in convention as
sembled, advocate and endorse the fol-
lowing principles as in accord with the
sentiments and demands of the tillers
of the soil:
lst. We demand, first, the recogni-
ton, by incorporation, of trades,
unions, cooperative stores and such
other associations as may be organized
by the industrial classes to improve
their financial condition, or promote
their general welfare.
I'd. We demand that the all public
lands be held in small bodies, not ex-
ceeding three hundred and twenty
acres to each purchaser, for actual set
tiers, on easy terms of payment.
Sd. That large bodies of land held
by private individuals or corporations,
shall be assessed for taxation, at such
rates as they are offered to purchasers,
on credit of one, two and three years,
in bodies of one hundred and sixty
acres or less.
4th That whereas, large bodies of
our public lands, have been sold to
foreign capitalists, thus tending to the
establishment of landed aristocracy
in this country, similar to that which
has reduced the people of Ireland, and
other monarchical Governments, to
condition of abject serfdom; we de-
mand the passage of laws forbidding
the ownership of lands, by aliens, whose
allegiance belongs to other nations,
and that the public domain be held as
the heritage of aur own people and our
children after us.
5th. That all lands forfeitable by
railroads or other corporations, imme-
diately revert to the government and
be declared open for purchase by actual

GREEN MANURING.
NUMBER Is.

This subject is SO intimately connec-
ted with Hog raising that the health
of the pig which is relied on to con-
sumo portion of the green crop be-
comes a matter of great interest to
every farmer. The loss to the country
from swine disease has been enormous,
and has in many cases discouraged the
farmer from attempting to raise his
pork Many remedies have been
placed before the public, but the dis
ease is so rapid and so fatal in it's work,
that the remedies have not been salts
factory.
What is needed, is how to prevent
the disease and to feel some security
that the hogs will remain healthy, and
will repay the owner for the care and
expense Of raiseing them.
Much has been written on the sub
ject, by men who claim that cholera
can be prevented and that by using
intelligent precautions they have raised
hogs with success.
We all think that no harm will come
to us and it is quite natural to neglect
to use means to prevent disease, but in
this case it is only prevention that can
be relied upon, as there seems to be
no practical cure for the disease.
A writer in the Southern Planter of
Richmond Va. says to the Commission
ers of Agriculture: II will place in
pour hands one hundred dollars to pay
for hogs if they should die with the SO
called hog cholera, if you will have
tested the following remedy, which l
have used with great success. Take
a sack of salt, and barrel of hard
wood ashes Qhickory or oak preferred)
mix the salt and ashes thoroughly, pre-
pare box of any convenient size, put
it under cover where the hogs can
have free access to it at all times, and
keep supply Of the marture an 1t. This
mixtureIwill cost you one dollar, and
some trouble, but will be sufficient for
several hogs for one year

HARNETT SPEAKS.

Nov. IA, 1887.
Since no one else will write from
Harnett, [ ask space in our organ to
PROFOUND a few questions to our
brethren, and especially our secre-
taries. The columns of our organ are
open to us, and it is battling nobly for
us, but | haven't seen the scatch of
pen from any Of our secretaries.
Brethren, why don't you write and
tell us how your Alliances are doing,
how you are prospering, how many
members you have, &C.? We have
IA or Is Sub-Aliances in Harnett,
and yet we see nothing from them in
our organ. THE Z PROGRESSIVE FARMER
is now the official organ of our noble
order in this State and we should
write to each other through it's col
umns. 1t is the easiest and best way
to talk with each other and to learn
what is going on all over the State
Some of our brethren in Harnett
are working zealously and nobIy.
They are going around and lecturing
for the benefit and encouragement Of
the brethren, and this is the way to
do We all have something to do in
this noble work, and we all can do
something. We must get together,
talk together work together, stand
together and all pull together. This
is the way all other classes do, and
this is the way they succeed.
We must learn lesson from them
Cowards and the "can't-do-nothings"
never did do nothing. 1t would seem
that we have lost enough by our do
nothing policy, for US to open our eyes
to the situation. We must stand up
in the dignity Of our manhood and
show to the world that we do appre-,
ciate our Importance as factor Of
society and to make manly effort to
advance our own interest by our own
hand and BRAIN We want to keep
the fires ablaze all along the lines. We
want to see the brethren patronizing
our own paper more and read it more
and use it's columns more 1t will do
us all good. What say you, brethren ?

Will you allow me space in your
valuable paper to call attention of our
people to the fact that the Board Of
Agriculture will soon elect State
Chemist to fill the position made
Vacant by the resignation of DR..
Dabney. .....
This is very important position,
and one that is difficult to fill, but we
have young men in North Carolina
IuIly capable of filling it as it should
oe. Every one with whom we have
Spoken express the opinion that the
Board will not go beyond the bounds

lore, but that they will confer the
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-11-24

HOnOf upon one OF our own young
men. If it was necessary in the past
to go outside of the State to get a
State Chemist, we are glad to say that
the necessity no longer exists, for we
can mention the name of one young
man, and no doubt there are others,
who has the qualifications requisite to
fill the position-Mr. DeSamol Haigh,
of Fayetteville. Mr.. Haigh was
brought up in Fayetteville and was
there prepared for college, After
completing his course at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
he went to some of the Eastern schools
to take a special course in chemistry
and some of it's kindred branches
where they had better appliances and
were much better equipped for teach
ing this branch of study. After
graduating, he accepted position as
chemist in drug house, and we be-
lieve that he holds like position now
in either drug or fertilizer factory
out West.
Mr.. Haigh being in every way
qualified for the position, it would be
a compliment to the Cape Fear section,
a large, intelligent and prosperous
country that has very little if any
representation in the permanent Offices
of the State, should he be elected
Mr.. Haigh is young man, and as
he has been away from home at school
ever since he was boy, is not per-
sonally known to a great many of our
people, but we would say that he is a
son of DR.. Haigh, of Fayetteville, and
has great many near relatives who
take very active part in politics.
They have always worked hard for the
success of the Democratic party, not
for reward or hope of reward, but be-
cause they had an interest in their
country, that it should be we'll and
economically governed. We do not
think that there is member of this
large family connection that holds any
political Office Of any kind And now,
Mr. Editor, if Mr.. Haigh is qualified
for and is worthy Of the position, as
we have stated that we thought he
was, then such facts as these should
have some influence with the Board.
Mr. Raigh is a young man of good
parts, is we'll educated and has spent
some years in the study and practice
of his profession and is now a we'll
equipped chemist.
We venture to say that if he is
elected he will fill the position with
credit to himself and will reflect honor
upon his section and upon his State
1t will also encourage other young
men to equip themselves fully for the
different significant positions, as they
will feel that when North Carolina
and her patriotic citizens need work
done in their line that they will be
called upon and that they will not be
considered disqualified because they
were born in North Carolina, which
has been considered too much in the
past as strip of land between Vir
ginia and South Carolina. M

The Home and Farm in speaking of
the Alliance Cotton Exchange and
Business Agency System of Texas says:
\<"This is unquestionable the most
extensive effort to cooperate in a
financial way that American farmers
have ever attempted. If the whole
matter is carefully managed by COM
petent men who are not hampered by
the restriction of the order, or by lack
of funds it will be a great success.
Otherwise, it's success will be question
able. If the farmers throughout the
State will promptly pay the assessment
and sell their products through the
Exchange, and all patronize the pro-
ducts of the factories to be established,
they ought to make a great saving.
Certainly, there is no good reason why
cotton and wollen mills should not
succeed in the South and West when
properly managed When those Sec
tions manufacture their raw products
at home they will retain vast sums of
money now sent to the North and East
for manufactured goods. This con-
slant drain is what makes money so,
scarce in some setions. If Texas
farmers succeed in. their great under
taking, it will be the signal for similar
efforts elsewhere. The eyes Of the
world are upon them We trust they
will be equal to the occasion"
